Statement of Significance
This werf, and in particular its homestead, is unique and rare. The two bow-fronted stoep kamers are
remimescent of similar Cape Georgian houses in Cape Town (for instance Wolmuster in
Rondebosch). The site has high historical, architectural, contexual and scenic significance. It has a
strong association with the history of slavery at the Cape. The site is a proclaimed national
monument, and remains deserving of its PHS status.
Landscape Significance
Mature oaks form an edge along the lower contour, in front of the house.
